A lot of ink will and has been spilled on yesterday's incredible superbowl. Congrats to the G-men on keeping the Pats offense off the field, executing on defense when they were on the field, and making the big plays in final 2:40 seconds.
One note: A lot of people are placing the blame that feet of the Pats' defense. I think we should instead place the credit for the win on G-men's defense. The game 5 weeks ago indicated that we'd see a high score. The spreads echoed that, as did Burress's 23-17 prediction and Brady's reaction to it (i.e. "Really? You think we'll only score 17 points?!"). The Pats defense held the Giants to less then half that former score while spending nearly twice as long on the field. Kudos to that squad. On the other hand, it was the Giant's offensive line that kept the pressure on Brady time and again, sacking him some, but hurrying him often, that kept the Pats' score lower -- most importantly, lower than the Giants.
18-1. Can't tell if this is more or less of a big deal than the alternative.

Bummer for the Pats. But only a few hours left to get over it and move onto more important things. As Boston.com put it: "Feeling blue because of the Super Bowl? Take two Beanpot tickets and call us in the morning."
Go BU!
